Flight school volunteers to give up certificate after 3 crashes in 5 months

The folks at Kemper Aviation knew their time had come. On Wednesday, the Palm Beach County Park airport flight school voluntarily surrendered its Part 141 flight school certificate to the FAA following three crashes in five months that have left eight people dead according to the Sun Sentinel. Its last crash on March 13th included the fatality of the flight school's co-owner. The flight school is continuing its operations under part 61, but only for U.S. citizens. Unfortunately, the majority of students at Kemper are from India. A few of Kemper's current and former instructors had apparently voiced concerns over Kemper's safety record with another local newspaper back in January.
